From Gulabo Sitabo to Shershaah, upcoming Bollywood films to release on OTT platforms
As the nation is going through a lockdown, the business has come to a standstill and the most hit industry is the entertainment one. Several big-budget films that were supposed to release this year are now waiting for their turn to hit the silver screens amid the Coronavirus crisis. Apart from big-budget films, many films have diverted their focus to OTT platforms.
A few days ago makers of Laxmmi Bomb confirmed that the film will release in Disney+Hotstar instead of theatres as they are quite skeptical due to the current situation. Even if the lockdown is lifted there’s no guarantee if people would be willing to throng movie theatres like the way they did earlier. Not just this there are possibility’s that delay in the release of the films will result in a clash at the box-office and hindering the earning of the film.
After seeing Laxmmi Bomb making its way to OTT platform other filmmakers are now eyeing to release their film on OTT. So here we are with the list of films that are set for their digital release while some are yet in talks for digital release.
